Reflections On Our American Republic



The Progressive RINO Establishment is selling us down the river, as they imbibe with cavalier abandon the good life inside a rainbows-and-unicorns Beltway Bubble; a place where virtue and principle have no redeeming equitable value: in fact, quite the opposite.
Morality creates problems if one is interested in conducting "business as usual" inside the Beltway Bubble; the consequences of moral certitude can be harsh, while playing "the game" is lucrative. One violates the unwritten code of crony capitalist Beltway Bubble behavioral norms at their own risk. Regardless of complicity between the Progressive New Democrat Party and the Progressive RINO Establishment when it comes to supporting King Barry and his incomprehensible Progressive Marxist wrecking-ball agenda, many Republican Party loyalists refuse to peel the scales from their own eyes. There is confusion among Republican Party faithful, but the historical fact of the matter is simply this: the Progressive RINO establishmentarians are big government, tax-and-spend, holier-than-thou, elitist, drunk-with-power, self-rationalizing, morally-equivocating, delusional, selfish, hypocritical, traitorous nanny-state progressives, precisely as the Progressive New Democrat Party are progressives; more than worthy of their legitimate progressive identity nomenclature.

The Old Paradigm

The old political paradigm has shifted, and the left/right political dynamic--realistically more fraternal than has been portrayed by many writing about politics--has morphed into what Angelo M. Codevilla identifies as the UniParty; Gov. Sarah Palin refers to it as the Party of Crony Capitalists; Mark Levin calls it the Party of Corporatism; Rush Limbaugh the Party of Power; my own preference is to think of it as the Party of American Decline. Codevilla probably has the best label, so for brevity let's use his.

The UniParty can't articulate constitutional conservatism--any more than Progressive Marxists would be able to--because they are not constitutional conservatives. Only a constitutional conservative can write and speak with genuineness about conservatism and its' mission; to conserve the documents and the philosophical integrity wrought by the Founders and Framers of our amazing country: our America. One must honestly believe in the human value of a constitutional conservative philosophy to express it, and have the historical knowledge to factually present the case for constitutional conservatism--with heart-felt enthusiasm--to win a Reaganesque landslide election. The reason for this is not complex; the majority of Americans are conservative based upon how they choose to live their lives and regardless of a specific party affiliation, whether Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, et al. They may not be able to express constitutional conservatism--with the education system in place today they may not even understand the U.S. Constitution--but Americans know "real deal" conservatism when they hear it on the radio or read it properly articulated. Everyday Americans--the country class--are far more aware and in tune with their intuition than any progressive could realistically comprehend. Progressives view us with nothing less than abject contempt; a concept not lost on the "country class."

Our American Republic

Many of us today are having a difficult time making ends meet. Many of us are afraid for the future of our representative constitutional republic. Many of us are sick and tired of being lied to by those we elected to represent the interests of We the People: hard-working, free-born individuals that Angelo M. Codevilla defines in his writing as "the country class." America is, after all, our country; not that of a political class nor its ruling class masters, be they Clinton or Bush; Gore or Romney. We've seen the greatest health care system in the entirety of world history brought to its' knees. We've seen health insurance ripped from our unbelieving grasp and nationalized in spirit akin to fascist Benito Mussolini himself through the most flagrantly unconstitutional act ever perpetuated upon the electorate: a compelling of We the People to purchase a "service" provided by the federal government we did not ask for and clearly do not desire. We've seen the coming death panels, and how lie after lie was used to misrepresent King Barry-Care: an unsustainable impossibility. But then, that is precisely what it was designed to be from the get-go; one more strike by the Progressive Marxist Chicago radical left to collapse our western free capital market economic system while at the same time sowing fear and discord, undermining civil society. We've seen the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court re-write King Barry-Care--altering by way of his re-defining a key provision in the bill from a penalty to a tax--for the express purpose of seeking any plausible excuse to impose through the most absurd act of twisted judicial tyranny the enactment of this preposterously unconstitutional legislation in concert with the four residing progressive justices.

The 2014 Elections

The 2014 midterm election results are indisputable. Many of us voted for a return to what the Founders and Framers gave us: the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, property rights, personal liberty, free markets, and the rule of law. Did the Progressive RINO Establishment listen; those with a death-grip on the levers and wheels of the Republican Party apparatus? No, they did not; nor were many of the country class surprised, having held our collective noses to create a Republican Senate majority, removing Harry Reid from his position of Senate Leadership. Now we wait on needles and pins for the death knell of our American Constitutional Republic by way of Amnesty for Illegals; legislation endorsed--both openly and covertly--by the Progressive RINO Establishment and their many benefactors, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, along with a list of millionaire/billionaire bigwigs too numerous to make for interesting reading. But Amnesty won't result from the Marco Rubio "Gang of Eight" legislation this time around; it will be ram-rodded down our swollen throats--raspy from strenuous, vocal opposition--by none other than King Barry via executive fiat befitting the world's most corrupt tin-pot dictators, tyrants, and kings.

The Progressive RINO Establishment

As always, Gov. Sarah Palin cuts to the chase--this following commentary in regards to political complicity and our constitutional republic being on the line--when she said on her Facebook page:
"These days you hear all of these politicians, they denounce Barack Obama, saying he's a lawless imperial and ignores court orders and changes laws by fiat and refuses to enforce laws he just doesn't like. That's true. But the question is, 'Hey politicians, what are you going to do about it?'"
Gov. Palin's admonition frames a glaring question, "What does the Republican Party stand for?" It is a question that must be quickly resolved if conservatism is to ever again win the crucial cross-over votes required for a presidential election victory under the Republican Party banner. Various commentators indicate the Republican Party leaders are gutless; afraid of King Barry and the political fallout they face from holding him accountable for lawless, unconstitutional actions, replete with racially-charged accusations of bigotry, hatred, and jealousy. Unfortunately, the real problem now is one of complicity and corruption, not weakness; unless it is the "weakness" of an ugly, ignoble sort: a weakness of spirit, allowing the criminally traitorous to sleep each night; the next day ready to "game the system" for ever-more wealth, power, privilege, perks, and personal pleasures to which the political class and their ruling class overlords are accustomed inside an other-worldly Beltway Bubble, as the country that made it possible--their own country--slips into the abyss as a direct result of their immorality, hubris, and indifference. Remarkable as it is, many Republican Party loyalists believe the Progressive RINO Establishment does not represent the same threat level to our republic as the Progressive New Democrat Party; never mind King Barry and his Progressive Marxist ideologues: they are typically lumped together with every other progressive by those in "conservative" media. For these "experts" the simpler things are, the better. This simplistic view distills into a equation: Progressives/liberals bad, Republicans good. A far more accurate accounting of the Progressive RINO Establishment past would detail the long-running attacks against constitutional conservatives: a Bush/Romney cabal tried to derail Ronald Reagan's political efforts to promote constitutional conservatism through fabrications and distortions of truth about him (George Romney and Bush 41); the same familial establishment attacks Sarah Palin relentlessly today. Reagan was--as is Palin now (being the only reformer with a record to prove it)--a focal point of real concern for the Progressive RINO Establishment. Reagan is still under attack, as the Progressive RINO Establishment tries to re-write known factual history, mitigating the constitutional conservative threat posed by Reagan's lasting words to an American electorate: the words of a constitutional scholar.

Amnesty

It is difficult to conjure a more sinister, disturbing act by the Progressive RINO Establishment--an act resulting in permanent damage to our republic--than Amnesty and its electoral college aftermath. The sad, painful truth of the Progressive RINO Establishment's on-going complicity with and capitulation to King Barry must be understood and accepted by the Republican Party loyalists if the constitutional conservative movement is to win the presidency in 2016: a critically important step to implement the damage control required from expert destruction administered by King Barry during his time in office. Daniel Horowitz illustrates the true nature of the Progressive RINO Establishment--and why they must be stopped immediately--in his article "Boehner Promises Amnesty Bill, then Reelected Speaker" in Conservative Review (Nov. 13, 2014):
With the upcoming budget bill being the last remaining check on Obama's power, Boehner, McCarthy and their GOP leadership lieutenants are whipping support for long-term funding for everything Obama is requesting. Yet, today, there was no opposition at a time when Republicans could have made bold promises to one another. Just hours before winning reelection to his speakership, Breitbart reported that Boehner said the following to Obama about paying his ransom on immigration: "After a White House meeting last week, Republicans described Speaker John Boehner aggressively confronting President Obama over the president's planned executive amnesty, prompting an extended period of a defensive Obama attempting to justify his actions. But a key moment of the meeting, left out from those accounts, was unveiled by Boehner himself in an exuberant moment of boasting in a closed-door meeting with GOP colleagues minutes ago. Boehner recalled telling Obama, 'Mr. President, just give us one more chance to do this the right way. If we can't, then do what you gotta do.'" So Boehner is telling Obama that he will have the green light to pass amnesty, but asked for permission to try one more time to pass it legislatively? I have this quote mentioned by Breitbart confirmed by several people in the room when Boehner said it. Read that again. Boehner told the GOP conference behind closed doors that he told Obama he has the green light to shred our constitution and destroy our sovereignty if Republicans don't do it through regular order. And then he was reelected Speaker just hours later!
Rush Limbaugh pointed to the problem of legal "chain migration" on his program (Nov. 13, 2014):
In two years, when we win it all, then we can round 'em up and send 'em back? That's not gonna happen. There's no way that is going to happen. This thing has to be stopped, and there are ways. Even after he does it, there are ways to stop it with defunding it. There are any number of ways. There are all kinds of mechanisms. The question is whether or not the Republicans are going to have the gonads to do any of it. It seems it always comes down to that. But this? We can't just stand idly by and try to find some political opportunity while the president basically shreds the Constitution and flushes it down the toilet. That's not the way this is supposed to work. [...] You and I knew. The people of Murrieta, California, knew what was coming next. Everybody knew these kids' parents were next, and that's what I was pointing out back [in August]. I said, "It doesn't matter that they're children because what the American people know is that the parents of these kids are next if something isn't done to stop this."
Daniel Greenfield provides a preview of the inevitable--if the Progressive RINO Establishment has its way--through his article "Super-Amnesty Will Turn Every City into Detroit" in FrontPage Magazine (July 9, 2014):
Homicide rates overlap with unemployment rates, especially when accounting for the demographic populations of young minority men who are statistically more likely to kill or be killed. 92% of black male teens in Chicago don't have a job. In Detroit, 50% of black men are unemployed. It's not that there aren't any jobs, but the entry level jobs have been mostly going to immigrants. The Center for Immigration Studies found that under Obama two-thirds of jobs went to immigrants, both legal and illegal. Throw in a massive illegal alien amnesty and the rush of illegal aliens into the country will turn the employment figures of every city into Detroit and Chicago. The black male unemployment rate in New York was at 33%. And the murder rate in New York is significantly lower than in Detroit or Chicago. But how long will that last if the unemployment rate in New York rises above 50%? Before long the marginal gangs will swell to monstrous sizes controlling entire neighborhoods. Anyone who can will flee and the city will once again become what it was. The same process will take place in most major American cities.
The Progressive RINO Establishment are criminally corrupt traitors, having sworn an oath to God on the Bible to defend the Constitution; instead, they disregard it, disrespect it, disenfranchise it and wreck it, aiding and abetting Progressive Marxists in their mission of surreptitious cultural and institutional destruction of our republic from within while facilitating the total collapse of free capital markets. And yet Congress--with all of its' constitutional power as detailed in Article I, Sections 7 and 8, of the U.S. Constitution--will not stem the carnage. The stealth techniques of the Progressive RINO Establishment to obfuscate sympathetic destruction from both their action and inaction are cynical, clever, and numerous: base line budgeting, disguising their votes on wretched legislation by allowing it to reach the floor when passage was assured, the "voice vote" on which Boehner was re-elected as Speaker of the House, not to mention the flagrant illegalities they pulled off against Chris McDaniel in Mississippi. And now Boehner and McConnell seek to pass an Omnibus Spending Bill--once again giving King Barry everything he desires--before the newly-elected Congress is seated, instead of a continuing resolution to get by on? That is not an accidental happenstance; it is by design, through complicity. Perhaps it's time to light up the Beltway Bubble switchboards; to share our thoughts? The American Revolution was fought over far less than what is transpiring today. The least we can do is make our best effort to restore what we've been given through the tremendous valor and wisdom of those embracing a vision set forth during our founding. We owe it to them, to our children, and to those not yet born. © Sandy Stringfellow/2014
